Chapter 57: dream

　　 Xu Qiu returned to the laboratory with an unfinished ice cream box.
　　 "Brother, how are you talking to Teacher Wei?" Chen Wanqing said.
　　 "It's okay, it just feels a little bit faster," Xu Qiu said:
　　 "As soon as I proposed to blog directly here, Teacher Wei called my counselor directly and finalized the matter."
　　 Chen Wanqing covered her mouth with a chuckle and said:
　　 "What else did you talk about?"
　　 "No more." Xu Qiu said.
　　 "Well, I still remember what happened when I first came here to find him when he was studying for a Ph.D." Chen Wanqing recalled:
　　" He told me at the time how promising the field of organic photovoltaics was. It was very easy to post and drew a big cake.
　　 As a result, when I entered the laboratory and started experimenting, I realized that it was not what he said.
　　 I started almost from scratch, constantly debugging equipment, exploring experimental conditions, and making a large number of devices, and the efficiency was all zero.
　　 And I often have to work overtime on Saturdays, which lasted for more than half a year, and it didn't get better until this semester.
　　 Hey, think about it, he was fooled by him. "
　　 "At least things are not bad now." Xu Qiu comforted.
　　 "By the way, did Senpai also come here early?"
　　 "Yes, I will be here in June just after the master's degree defense," Chen Wanqing said:
　　"If a master's degree graduate wants to do a Ph.D., there is generally no need for a written test, just the approval of the supervisor, and then the interview in the department when enrolling students.
　　 Therefore, it is generally necessary to contact the tutor in advance. Basically, the tutor agrees. The Ph.D. is more than half of the success. The next thing to consider is how to graduate successfully.
　　 Except for the continuous master-doctoral program, most doctoral students have different research fields and master's periods, and some are even completely unrelated fields.
　　Like me, I used to be doing electrospinning of organic polymers for my master's degree, but now I am doing organic photovoltaics for my Ph.
　　 The difference in research fields during the master and doctorate periods is also one of the main reasons why doctoral students are difficult to graduate.
Dr. 　　 has just joined the group. First, he has to learn the various instruments in the research group, read a lot of literature in new fields, and find his own research direction. Basically, the first year has passed.
　　 In the second year, formal research began.
　　 In the third year, I have to prepare to write a graduation thesis and find a job.
　　 At the same time, during the Ph.D., I have to take about 20 credits of courses and deal with some school-related affairs.
　　 seems to be a Ph.D for three years, but the real golden research time is only one year.
　　 If you can't produce a big article or two small articles within this year, then basically wait for it to be postponed.
　　 Therefore, there are some colleges and universities where the standard graduation period for Ph.D. is four years, and the extension is five years. "
　　 "It sounds like a doctor," Xu Qiu said:
　　 "But the elder sister is about to post the first article soon, the graduation pressure should be much less."
　　 "Yes, with the first article of the article, after getting familiar with the routine, it is not that difficult to continue posting.
　　 Actually, Mr. Wei was not completely fooling me at the beginning. At least it is quite easy to think about water articles in this field. It is just an article to find several things and mix them up efficiently.
　　 But I have to dream of doing scientific research. I also want to work hard to publish an article of Adv.Mater. level, no matter what its big magazine AEM. "
　　 "AM?" Xu Qiu said, "This should be the top material-related journal second only to the "Nature" journal."
　　 "Almost, set a goal, try hard, if you really can't achieve it, just graduate from the water article." Chen Wanqing paused and asked:
　　 "Xu Qiu, do you have any scientific research dreams?"
　　 "I..." Xu Qiu hesitated.
　　 He remembered that when the system first arrived, his inner thought was to let organic solar cells go out of the laboratory and reach the homes of ordinary people.
　　 However, his scientific research experience over the past month made him realize that this dream is still far away from him.
　　 If this dream is compared to building a building, he is probably still laying the foundation.
　　 Therefore, we still have to be pragmatic and set a short-term goal first.
　　 Thinking of this, Xu Qiu said:
　　 "Then I also set a small goal, and I will post "Nature" during my Ph.D."
　　 "A sub-issue of "Nature"...?" Chen Wanqing said.
　　 "Of course it is the main journal." Xu Qiu said.
　　 "Wow, ambitious," Chen Wanqing said with emotion: "The main issue of "Nature", the field of organic photovoltaics has not been published for many years, maybe ten years."
　　 "However, if you can post an article for the younger brother, then I must be the second one. I can tell others that I have posted "Nature" when I go out later, hehehe." She laughed silly afterwards.
　　 Xu Qiu saw this and shook his hand in front of the senior sister's eyes and said:
　　 "Senior sister, wake up, haven't you doubted that I can post?"
　　 "According to my observation, you, there is almost a 10% chance of posting." Chen Wanqing said.
　　 "Only 10%?" Xu Qiu said unconvinced: "Who do you look down on? Believe it or not, I will vote for an article next year."
　　 "10% is already a very high evaluation, okay," Chen Wanqing said:
　　"If you want to publish top journals like CNS in scientific research, you have insufficient talent, and hard work is not enough. The most important thing is luck. If you want God to enjoy food, it will be useless.
　　 You are the one with the highest scientific talent among the people I have ever met.
　　 Before, I thought Feifei Wu has the highest talent, but her talent is mainly in writing articles, so she is suitable for writing reviews.
　　 In terms of experimentation, her upper limit is estimated to be the level of the "Nature" kid magazine.
　　 As for myself, I know how to send an AM. UU reading www. uukānshu.com"
　　 "Where is Yunhe Tianqing?" Xu Qiu asked.
　　"Tian Qing, she is not interested in scientific research. It is not easy to comment. She lives in the magic city. It is said that there are two or three suites at home, so you know.
　　 Duan Yun, it’s hard for him to tell. On the one hand, he has very little interaction with him this year. On the other hand, his field of work is very different from others.
　　 Although I, Feifei Wu, and Tian Qing have different fields, they all do solar cells, while Duan Yun is engaged in thermoelectricity.
　　 Before he used to go to Tongji University to rub the equipment, now he has to build his own equipment, and then he will do experiments. If the results are slow, it may be delayed. "
　　 Xu Qiu glanced at Duan Yun in the glove box with some sympathy, and said:
　　 "By the way, you and Duan Yun are both Ph.Ds in the same term. How did you get to Teacher Wei's side together?
　　 I heard that each doctoral supervisor in the department can only recruit one PhD and one master in a year. "
　　 "I first found Teacher Wei, and then Duan Yun was recommended by his boss, and Teacher Wei also accepted him.
　　 But Teacher Wei’s enrollment quota has been used up, so he found Fang Guangwu, the deputy head of the department, and borrowed a quota from there.
　　 In other words, Duan Yun is affiliated with Fang Guangwu, but he actually came to work with Teacher Wei. "Chen Wanqing said.
　　 "It turns out that this is the case. There are quite a lot of show operations in the department." Xu Qiu said.
　　 "There are policies at the top and countermeasures at the bottom. As long as it doesn't violate the principles, it can be accommodating," Chen Wanqing said:
　　"The main issue is the teacher-student ratio in the Department of Materials, which is almost close to 1:1. If there are no enrollment restrictions, it is very likely that some associate professors and tutors will not find anyone for several years.
　　 is like a chemistry department, with few teachers and many students, so one teacher can recruit three master students. "
